Grateful Dead

Little Red Rooster

I'm a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days Just a little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days Keep everything in the barnyard people, upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl Dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl Watch out stray cat people the little red rooster is on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster, won't you please drive him home If you see my little red rooster, won't you please drive him home Been no peace in the barnyard people, since the little red rooster's been gone

[ Brent rap ]

Yeah and the little red rooster, well you ain't shit to me Think you're a stud boy, well I doubt you'll ever be While your away I'm gonna fuck with your hens, boy I'm just bein' neighborly

(1) this is an additional verse, sung by Brent Mydland and I presume written by him (Thanks to Sean Allen for pointing this out)
